I can think of good comebacks but the problem with me is that I can't phrase it properly since English is not my primary language. For example: If someone shows me his family tree which is big and have famous/successful peoples, I can reply "I am an environmentalist, a great one but trees like this are better being cut down", something like this but it sounds pretty lame and can be turned into a good one with rephrase. Give ur best advice (open for constructive criticism).
Ahh thanks dude I am pretty sure it will help.
It couldn’t hurt!
Could i ask what your mother tongue is?
It's Nepali
WOW!
That’s excellent!
May i suggest you listen to some of the Dalai Lama’s talks.
I’m not “profiling” you nor am I suggesting you to Buddhism but as you both come from a similar part of the world, you may find his style easier to adopt.
You are right I think he's pretty fluent in english. I appreciate your advice not only will it improve my english, I'll gain some spiritual knowledge too. Thank you so much again :)
To get a broader sample of material you could do a search for English speaking Indian Pakistani and Asian comedians, basically any languages that may be even remotely similar to Nepali.
You could also listen to a variety of English comedians.
Another program you could check out is. “Live At The Apollo” which has a variety of outstanding ethnic comedians.
There are a number of English comedy programs that have a B variety of comedians discussing current sffairs available on YouTube such as;
“Have I Got News For You”
Type in: HIGNFY S 67 e6
When it’s finished YouTube should go to the next episode which is
HIGNFY S67 e5
S can be inserted into the YouTube search engine instead of “series”
e can be used instead of “episode”
“episode” 6 is currently the most recent episode of HIGNFU pwhich would’ve been recorded last week
HIGNFU has been running for over 30 years so there is a lot of material however it is based on current affairs so the further back in time you go the less relevant the comedy becomes.
You could also check out: QI (Short for Quite Interesting)
That should keep you occupied for a day or 2,
Please let me know if I’ve offended you in any way, I’m completely ignorant regarding the politics in that part of the world
No you didn't offend me at all instead I am shocked and surprised at the fact that you are putting a lot of effort in writing long paragraphs to help me.
On the contrary, it gives me great joy to help others.
I want for nothing, I am content and I enjoy a fulfilling life.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you.
Namaste.

You’re trying too hard.
You don’t mention what your mother tongue is but what I’d suggest is going onto YouTube and type Into the search engine “English speaking (your original language) comedian”.
For instance if you’re German type English speaking German comedian.
Henning Wehn will come up.
Then watch all the English speaking material you can find on those you identify.
This is definitely the easiest and cheapest way to work out how to blend humour into your everyday experience.
After a while you’ll realise the rhythm or cadence that makes what they are saying witty or sarcastic or funny.
Good luck!
Edit: try to find shows they do In front of British audiences. British humour is subtle and far more edgy than American humour.
